It’s EASY to make someone tired...

It’s EASY to make someone sweaty...

HARD to make them better!!!

That challenge is one we are willing to take on! And why our programs don’t just stop at strength, speed, conditioning, or in the weight room. We blend into the sport you play as much as possible!
-
Ask yourself these questions after every workout.

Did this workout get me closer to my goals?
-
How do you know it did?

Why should you follow a program designed by a prof

Why should you follow a program designed by a professional?
-
To increase the chances of getting the results you want!

“The optimal strength training program likely involves the largest possible dosage of mechanical tension for the smallest dosage of muscle activation and calcium ion-related fatigue. This can be achieved with workouts that consist of low-to-moderate volume of moderate-to-heavy loads, avoiding failure, and avoid intensification techniques that involve lifting when very fatigued.”
-
If your workout focus is getting crushed, sore, sweaty, and tired, you might just be wasting your time, decreasing the chances of getting the results you want, and ultimately moving you further from your goals....

Here's a recent publication - “Youth Baseball Pitch Counts Vastly Underestimate High-effort Throws Throughout a Season” - in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics with a few key takeaways for youth baseball players and their parents and coaches:

1. Actual in-game pitches account for only about 10% of total throws, and less than 30% of total high effort throws. In other words, pitch counts are a noble initiative and definitely necessary, but they're just one piece of a bigger volume/intensity puzzle.

2. If only 35% of total throws are "high effort" throws, there is another 65% where athletes should be locked in on direction and sequencing, rather than just intent/conviction to create velocity. In other words, pay attention to footwork, lower half sequencing, and the forces imparted to the baseball to create optimal spin. This is what most elite throwers do, but very few amateur pitchers truly grasp - and it's a huge competitive advantage. 👊👍⚾️

People want to run faster but refuse to go slower when it’s needed. People want to move big weights but won’t take the time to move better first. You get the idea..

Our job isn’t to motivate! It’s to provide evidence as to why athletes should train hard and then provide evidence of that hard work paying off.

This process doesn’t guarantee success but it does limit the chance of regret. The regret that you have when you look back and think “I coulda, shoulda, woulda been ______!”

If you want to be successful, it’s on YOU. 💯

Been seeing this lately, as many pitchers routines fell apart during quarantine. Is it a strength issue, movement issue, mobility issue, or do we need to change the way you set up due to some anatomical differences you have...

Following up on last week’s post, low spin efficiency (often cutting the ball) can also be attributed to movement/mechanical faults on the mound. A couple common reasons are:

1)Loss of direction/poor load- The back leg should provide stability and direction for the initial move down the mound. Leaking towards 3rd base side for RHP and 1st base side for LHP can cause compensations later in the sequence. Typically the result is a premature opening of the torso back the other direction in order to get the hand out in front. This causes the throwing hand to work out and away from the head, often around the ball rather than being able to work consistently through it.

2)Loss of proximal stability- The inability to maintain a neutral core (relationship between rib cage an pelvis) can lead to a variety of issues that may also limit the ability to work through the baseball consistently. Poor anterior core control compromises the position of the scapula (shoulder blade) making it difficult for it to get up and around the rib cage to allow the hand to stay on the ball out in front/through release.

There are a variety of physical limitations that may contribute to these faults, but if you’re struggling to efficiently spin a ball, check to see if these might help.

A large percentage of athletes who we train ask why we don’t use certain exercises. Back squat, conventional deadlifts, Olympic lifts etc. We do our best to choose the right exercises, at the right time, for each individual so that we don’t double up on any stress that may already be playing through. The spine is a great example, unfortunately a lot of baseball/softball players are going to experience back soreness/pain as things ramp up again. Why would we double up on that stress with exercises in the gym....?

Seems simple but often a large problem in programs that cause injuries.

Rear Foot Elevated Split Squats, are just one of the single leg emphasized exercises we use to build strong legs all while decreasing stress to the lumbar spine.

🧠All too often, I hear medical professionals telling patients to rest in order to recover from various musculoskeletal problems. While a very temporary period of rest (24-72 hours) can be useful at times to allow an acute issue to calm down, the majority of our focus should be on finding ways to keep people moving by modifying aggravating movements. If we don’t begin moving, our tissues will not develop the capacity to accommodate stress and, worse, will quickly become deconditioned.
-
✅Research and practice both support this viewpoint, so let’s move past outdated ways of thinking about injury rehabilitation.

If being sore and sweaty is your only goal for training or the only measure of how effective a workout is, perform 3 sets of banging your head against the wall. You will be sore and sweaty but you won’t be getting any better.

Getting sore and sweaty is easy...

Getting better is MUCH more difficult!
